The situations where the most intensive classification and develop- 

 ment of southern swamp lands is likely to make forest planting of 

 cypress feasible are (1) large tracts of permanent swamp covered 

 with stumps, under the ownership of a strong permanent organiza- 

 tion, either private or public; and (2) small areas, near good markets 

 with transportation f acuities, which it is desired to manage intensively 

 in connection with other business such as farming.
